It is with deep sadness and regret that we announce the death of Fred Somes of Coral Beach Realty. He sadly passed away in Belize City after health complications at around 10:30 a.m. Funeral and memorial arrangements will be announced later.

The San Pedro Sun extends its deepest condolences to his wife and children, the Coral Beach Realty family and all his friends. May he rest in peace.

It was hard to respond to one of the most active members of the Ambergris Caye Emergency Response Team. When we got the call - we kept thinking over and over we need to call Fred. . .But thanks to all responded. Fred was a great friend to all and an asset to ACER. It was also great to know that he was surrounded by friends during the entire process.

Fred was always there for me and was the first person that greeted me and Liane on our first trip to San Pedro. He was a kind, caring wonderful man that would go out of his way for people as he did for us. He will be deeply missed as he was a dear and wonderful friend. RIP Fred. Love you Patricia
